Rob-That was a really great story!
I hate to say it, but I guess Mr. Potter actually stole the first 30 seconds of my answer. I too would really want to let him know how much I appreciated his work. With the rest of the time, I'd just like to ask him about his home in North Ontario, since it seems to be such an inspiration to him, in so many of his songs. I'd also like to ask him what has enabled him to produce such a huge volume of really great music. Is there any other songwriter who is even close to having written so many great numbers. I'd probably be reduced to grovelling at some point, and invite him to my family's home for dinner or something ridiculous like that, just because I'd be so awestruck. I actually recently met someone who met him years ago, and even that was nearly more than I can take. Everyone that I know who has met him says the same thing - he is as honest, humble and genuine as the beautiful music he writes.
As I say to you , my brother
If you live to follow the golden sun
You better beware
Knowin' the watchman's always there
